  2. BBC Coverage

    BBC Radio 5 live sports extra

    BBC Radio 5 live sports extra are on the scene at Twickenham and will be hitting the airwaves harder than a Sergio Parisse shoulder from 15:00 GMT,

    Paul Grayson and Matt Dawson - 109 England caps between them - will be talking through the action alongside commentator Chris Jones.

    Their words are a tap away at the top of this page once we get going.

  3. Cricket score?

    Immediately after overturning Wales at the Principality Stadium, England counterpart Eddie Jones said he wanted to take Italy "to the cleaners".

    The Australian will have half an eye on racking up a cricket score to surpass England's record 80-23 victory in 2001.

    Missing out on the four-try bonus point will be unthinkable to the England coach. 

    Defeat? Well, it would make this toe-curling evisceration of a press conference after his Japan side lost to the French Barbarians in 2012 look gentle.

  4. England v Italy (15:00 GMT)

    This is the long view that greeted Italy coach Conor O'Shea as he opened his curtains this morning.

    Twenty-two matches. Twenty-two defeats.

    An 'average' losing margin of more than 27 points.

    And a distinctly above-average England side awaiting at Twickeham.
